Mother's Cross in gold with box

Original German Mother's Cross in Gold (Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter). Awarded to women with large families as part of the regime's population policy, the gold grade was the highest of the three classes. This example comes complete with its original ribbon and is housed in the proper presentation case. The enamel retains strong color and detail, with only minor wear consistent with age. A fine, desirable award and an excellent addition to any collection of WWII German decorations.
